This is a vegan Budae Jjigae 부대찌개 or Korean Army Base Stew made using vegan luncheon meat, mushrooms, tofu, and some vegan cocktail sausages. This is my take on Budage Jjigae or spicy sausage stew usually composed of different American processed food such as sausages, ham, spam/luncheon meat, kimchi, and sometimes even beans.
